Chapter 708: Ruined Ancestral Temple
In a dense forest fifty miles east of Bantong City, two figures, one tall and one short, were rushing rapidly. The tall man was dark-skinned, with a smooth head, large eyes and thick lips that looked extremely incongruous on his face. On his back was a strong man as strong as an iron tower, with unkempt hair, closed eyes, and blood all over his body, as if he had been badly wounded.
The other shorter figure was a beautiful young man in white, who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, with a pair of furry pointed ears on the top of his head, and white hair moving in the wind. The beautiful young man in white looked back from time to time while running, turned his head to the man next to him and said, "Ah Hei, you said those people won't chase after you anymore, right?"
Ah Hei shook his head and said in a rough voice: "Ah Hei doesn't understand, why did Xiao Bai take the risk of saving this dying man from that group of people......?
If she was here, she would definitely be able to recognize these two people as the nine-tailed spirit fox Xiaobai and Kunlun Nu Ahei from the Rongcheng clan of the Chaos Realm. I haven't seen him for a while, Ah Hei is still the same, and Xiaobai seems to have grown up a lot.
Xiao Bai's eyes were slightly downcast, it was not easy for him and Ah Hei to go all the way here. He had long known that he was not from the Rongcheng clan, but was picked up by the patriarch grandfather since he was a child and adopted by his side. Over the years, he has been trying to solve the mystery of his origins, but the patriarch grandfather refuses to reveal anything. He learned by accident that he might be from the Qingqiu Fox Clan from the conversation between the patriarch's grandfather and the clan elders...... Xiaobai wants to find out his life experience, it is as difficult as the sky.
But since he came to this mirror world, Xiaobai felt that his opportunity had come!
"What do you know! At today's Dian Xian Conference, this person once fought with a woman from the Qingqiu Fox Clan, I really want to know the situation at that time, and I also want to know more about the news related to the Qingqiu Fox Clan......
"Qingqiu Fox Clan?"
Ah Hei tilted his head and glanced at Xiao Bai, his big eyes full of doubts.
Xiaobai smiled lightly, waved his hand and said, "I can't tell you, and you don't understand it." There seems to be a temple not far ahead, let's rest there for the night!" After Xiao Bai finished speaking, he quickened his pace and walked towards the ruined ancestral temple on the hillside.
The mountains are densely wooded, and there is a path that leads to the temple. This ancestral temple is not big, and the exterior wall has collapsed due to disrepair, and the red paint on the wall has all fallen off. The knotted branches of a towering ancient tree poked out of the ancestral temple, and this ancient tree, like this ancestral temple, had been left untended for too long, its leaves were sparse, and its branches had become wilted.
Xiaobai wondered a little in his heart, this place is so close to Bantong City, it stands to reason that this temple should be full of incense, how can it be so deserted and dilapidated?
Xiaobai and Ah Hei had just walked to the temple gate when the dilapidated gate opened inward with a "creak". The dead leaves on the ground were swept up by a gust of wind, and they swirled in mid-air. Xiao Bai frowned, he always felt that this ancestral temple was a little strange, and was about to turn around and leave, when he was pushed into the ancestral temple by a demonic wind.
"Oh, Xiaobai, what's going on, why is someone pushing Hei forward?"
Hei's figure was unstable, he staggered around a few times, and fell down in front of the ancient tree, and the strong man on his back pressed heavily on him, Hei's eyes widened, and he snorted, almost not spitting out a mouthful of old blood.
Xiao Bai ignored Hei, his eyes were attracted by a stone tablet next to the ancient tree. The handwriting on the stele was very blurry, Xiaobai brushed the dust on the surface of the stele with his sleeve, and saw that the stele recorded the immortals enshrined in this ancestral temple and some legends and stories that had happened here.
It turns out that this ancestral temple is not enshrined in the gods and Buddhas, nor is it the four powerful spirit beasts of Lin, turtle, dragon, and phoenix, but a fox fairy surnamed Bai! During the war of ancient gods and demons, this fox fairy surnamed Bai fought against a group of demons with his own strength and saved the lives of thousands of people in Bantong City. Later, the fox fairy surnamed Bai died, and the people of Bantong City built an ancestral temple for him here, worshipping day and night, and the incense was constantly burning, in order to thank the fox fairy surnamed Bai for saving his life.
In the end, even the legend was forgotten by the world, and it was lost in the endless river, leaving only such a stone tablet with blurred handwriting and this ruined ancestral temple that no one cared about standing here day and night, as if waiting for a destined person to appear......
Xiao Bai gently stroked the stone tablet, and couldn't help but feel a little sad. Maybe because he is also a spirit fox family, he has a faint sense of intimacy with this fox fairy surnamed Bai in his heart. But the period when the Immortal Demon War took place was too long, and it was impossible for this fox fairy surnamed Bai to have anything to do with him.
"Xiaobai, what's wrong with you, you look sad?" said Hei as he stepped forward and said in his unfluent official language.
Xiaobai shook his head and said, "It's nothing, since you're here, let's put incense on the master of this ancestral temple!"
Xiaobai lit a stick of incense, knelt on the futon in front of the main hall of the ancestral temple, stretched his waist and strands respectfully, touched the ground with his head, and bowed three times and bowed nine times. Ah Hei on the side was full of confusion, and he also knelt down with Xiaobai and kowtowed a few times. Xiaobai stood up and inserted the incense stick in his hand into the incense burner in front of the hall, and a stream of green smoke rose and coiled in the air for a long time.
"It's not too early, presumably those people won't be chasing after them. ”
Xiao Bai pointed to the seriously injured and unconscious strong man on the ground, and said, "Ah Hei, you carry him to the side hall, his injuries have worsened, and he needs to be dealt with as soon as possible." ”
Ah Hei nodded, picked up the strong man and put it on his shoulder, and walked towards the side hall of the ancestral temple. Xiao Bai glanced into the distance again, and then followed Ah Hei into the side hall.
The walls of this side hall were leaky, and there were cobwebs everywhere, and even the gods and statues were knocked down, but fortunately there was a pile of hay in one corner. After Ah Hei put the strong man on the haystack, he pinched his nose and said with a disgusted expression: "Xiaobai! He stinks, I'm afraid he's dead!"
Xiaobai stepped forward, gently probed the man's snort, and said, "No, he's not dead yet." ”
The brawny man was half naked, his chin swollen high, covered in scaly wounds, a blur of flesh and blood, and in some places the wounds were deep into the bone. The most fatal injury was in the head, as if he had been hit by some blunt object, and his head was somewhat deformed. His breath was weak, but he was alive.
Xiaobai took out a sharp knife from his arms, handed it to Ah Hei, and said, "Shave!"
Ah Hei took the sharp knife, scratched his head, and said, "Shave what?"
"Naturally, it's a shaved head!"
